She had blue velvet Bluer than midnight’s hue Gentler than moonlight drifting through Silver stars She had on blue velvet Richer than twilight were her eyes Sweeter than springtime, all her sighs Love was ours Ours, a love I held so dearly Every thrill aglow Like a fire shining clearly Till she left—and dimmed the glow of Blue velvet Still in my heart it lingers on Tender and warm through all the years And I still see blue velvet through my tears She dressed in blue velvet Still in my heart it lingers on Tender and warm through all the years And I still see blue velvet through my tears (Blue velvet, ooh)
